Not anticipating it. Heard one song (I Hate The 80s) and it was terrible. "Now the party's over, we're left with a hang-over". Really? Twenty years afterwards you're suffering from a hangover are you? Denim covered the exact same topic in the same way (down to the Duran Duran refs) at a more appropriate time.

Gah! I probably shouldn't do a knee-jerk negative reaction to it. There's a chance there will be some good material here. I'm going to wait and see. Really don't like that one song though.

new song is ok.
the production is a little too loud and Eugene Kelly's voice sounds vague but other than that it's fine.

They are trying to rough it up in the production because that's the Vaseline's "sound". In those days it was not by choice though. Like, the guitar solo sounds like an accomplished guitarist trying to sound a blundering as possible. They should have got a complete novice to play the solos if they wanted to achieve true verisimiltude.

Listening to it again I'm struck by how much it sound like something off The Pastels album Sitting Pretty which Eugene guested on. With shit lyrics of course.

yes...but even the title of a song like I Hate the 80s is red skies in morning...

super mediocre, but then again i never really felt the vaselines were all that great a band either. cool riffs, nice harmonies... nothing else.
